@SaskiaKC that autumn leaves quilt and cushion is beautiful. I have a childhood friend who I used to go to sewing classes with and neither of us were very good. However later on she lived in Saudi for many years and the American ex pat ladies taught her quilting and she lives and breathes it now. I have always been envious of her sewing room and what she produces.
Mama tried to teach me to sew but I was never much good at it. She could do it all -- made all the clothes for herself, my sister, and me; cutwork embroidery for table linens, smocking, slipcovers, bound buttonholes, applique, quilts ... years later I realized I actually had absorbed some of it as I was able to do some sewing for a great-niece, including putting in a zipper ... I was quite proud of that! I've always preferred crochet to sewing, and really should order some yarn from Amazon or Walmart ...
